The Sweetest of all Virtues.

One of the sights to touch and yet
please the kindly hearted humanitarian
was that seen at the soup house yes.
terday. Some time ago Ex-Ofier
Trip, the manager of the soup house,
went among the merchants and had
them to contribute a monthly fund for
the benefit of the poor and with a
portion of this fund, which he collec-
ted, and with the aid of Officer Kelly
and other good and charitable people,
a dinner of turkey and other meats,
bread, butter, pudding and coffee, etc.,
was served on long. nicely arranged
tables. The most of the guests were
poor little children and aged people,
and it was a pleasant sight to witness
with what relish the food was partsk-
en- of. Manager Trip and officer
Kelly were untiring in their efforts to
make the affair a success, and grand
ly did they succeed. Among contri-
buttons received for the occasion, was
a basket of clothing and provisions
for 'some worthy little girls" from
Nora and Goldie Mckee, the weet
little daughters of Mr.. and Mrs. Geo.
Mckee, and 81 In cash from the Ia
dies of South Massachusetts, street.
The latter was devoted to the pur-
chase of food of a substantial kind.
Among the partakers of the dinner
was aged Mrs. Cochran and her three
little grand children. and as she ca-
ressed the golden head of the youngest
of them, she told a representative of
this paper, chow hard it was for her
to get along, now that the mother
of the children, who was away from
home working, had fallen i'll and was
unable to contribute anything for their
She said "her place was so
cold she could not keep them warm"
and gazing at their thin clothes and
remembering how thin the walls of

poor, it was easy to believe she told
the truth. In this connection, it
would be well for the rich mothers of
this city to take their cur led darlings
to the soup house and LEI them see
what it is to be poor and neglec-
ted and thus gain for them

hey could not otherwise learn. 1t
may also be added that the mothers
would also see something which would

hat ''life is real and earnest" in the
.ruest and fullest sense of the word. |
Altogether Manager Trip estimated
hat he entertained about 100 guests
yesterday and he deserves.praise for he

An Official Holiday.

Yesterday seemed to be generally
recognized as a holiday by the officials
of both the county and city. All the
courts were closed and at the court
house every office was deserted except
those Of the collector and circuit
clerk. In the latter, clerk Fowler
held sole possession, but merely as a
matter of form, as he declined to do
any business unless of an indispensi-
bic character, contenting himself with
setting up the cigars and cracking
jokes with chance visitors who drop
ped in.
Deputy collector, Mckinley, how
ever. kept open house for the accom-
mediation of tardy tax payers who
might seek the last chance to escape
the penalty assessed upon delinquents
and quietly took in all the cash offer
ed.
AT THE CITY HALL.
In the city Offices nearly all the
officials spent most OF the day at their
desks, with the exception of the water
commissioner. Recorder Levens
held no court but busted himself clos
ing up his books for the year and max
ing up his monthly report.
Collector Pilkinton and his deputy
were similarly engaged. "My collec-
tons yesterday amounted to over
"a, 900 said Mr.. Pilkington, and there
are less delinqueuts on the books this
year than ever before. The third.
class charter in this respect, at least,
is q success"
"How about today"
"This is a holiday, and in addition
the limit was reached yesterday, and
all taxes paid hereafter must be with
the penalty added of 6 per cent.
Quite a number called to-day but of
course Would not receive their tax
without the added amount for penal
ty, which they did not want to pay
Register Thompson was also busy
with his books getting up his monthly
reports for next Mondays meeting.

Mark Twain SAYS that the funniest thing
he ever wrote came to an untimely end and
was lost entirely to the world. 1t was his
early western days when he was a reporter
on The Chronicle of Virginia City, New In
those days, when the saloon was the social
center of the town, and the opening of each
new one a matter of general interest, it was
the custom for the proprietor of new ven
ture in liquid refreshments to send basket
of his choicest wares to the newspaper Office,
and for the editor to return the compliment
by giving glowing account of the opening.
One day basket Of unusually choice wines
from saloon that was to be of an unusually
aristOcratic order inspired Mark with
brilliant idea. He wrote a few lines in
straight good English, but the next began to
be pretty badly mixed, and as he represented
one bottle after another as having been sam
pied, approved and emptied, he drifted on
into worse and worse confusion, until be
finally brought up III an inextricable tangle
Of incOherency, such as might be supposed
10 possess the brain OF a man who had drank
a basket of mixed wine. But when the
paper came out he searched it over and
over in vain for his cherished article. 1t was
not there But he did find <brief paragraph,
setting forth in the most commonplace, con-
ventional way imaginable he fact that bas
ket OF wines had been received from Mr.. ---
that they were very fine, and that 'we be-
speak for him the liberal patronage he de-
serves" With fire in his eye and profanity
on his lips Mark started on an investigation
and soon settled the blame on the head of one
of the printers.
"Why," said the fellow, II couldn't make
head nor tail out of the copy, and concluded
Mr. Clemens must have been pretty full when
he wrote it. heard the editor say last week
that if he got drunk again he'd discharge
him. and 1 thought if that stuff got into the
paDer he'd have to go sure. So 1 tore it up
and wrote this myself. Just thought I'd save
his place for him il | could
Before this honest frienfq whose zeal for his
welfare had not left a piece of his priced ar
ticle as big as a nickel, Mark could say no
more. But he could not reproduce it. 1t
had been the swift and brilliant inspiration
of the moment, and was completely gone.
But he mourned long over the fate of what
he always believed to be his most brilliant
production Pittsburg Dispatch.

MURDERS IN MEXICO.
The Recent killing OF Protestants Charged
Upon Rural Fanntical Priests.

CITY OF MEXICO, Oct. 1, via Galveston
The recent murders and poisoning OF persons
in the interior Of the country engaged in
school teaching, editing Liberia! newspapers,
&C., are to-day charged by the Monitor Repub-
licano on fanatical rural priests. The Monitor
gives the particulars Of several cases. Ono Of
the victims was Mexican young lady. a
Protestant. who went to teach In o small VII
age In the State Of Tabasco. She was poisoned
soon after opening her school. and though her
life was saved. her reason is thought to have
been destroyed. Another case was the muir
der Of three Protestants in the State Of
Guerrero by mob. and third
case was the recent murder Of the editor Of n
Liberal newspaper in the State Of Vera Cruz,
who had attacked the Church. and had been
denounced from tho pulpit by his clerical an
tagonists All the victims We're Mexican citi-
zens. and the Monitor calls for justice and pro-
lection for people OF all creeds against the ia
natics Of the interior.
There is much agitation over these dis
to swiftly visit the offenders. The Government
seeks to AFFORD ample protection to all denom-
nations, and In the larger cities and towns
succeeds In doing so. but In the remote parts
OF the interior the fanatics are hard to control.
There is no disposition to deal leniently with
the authors Of these astounding crimes. which
arc condemned by all good citizens. without
regard to religious differences.
